A private laboratory hired by the prosecution in the Duke lacrosse case failed to report that it found DNA from multiple males in the accuser's body and underwear, according to a defense motion filed today. The lab, DNA Security of Burlington, found that the DNA did not match the three defendants, their lacrosse teammates or anyone else who submitted their DNA to police, including the accuser's boyfriend.
The new evidence emerged in thousands of documents handed over to the defense in October.

Not June, more like late April early May. This whole thing is just mind blowing. There was a guy on another board talking about seeing her still dancing a short while ago, if that is true, I guess even pregnancy isn't going to stop her.
As for Jakki...my kids were laughing because there was a point were she/he/it was pausing and I said "Cue the tears" and none came for a while and after looking off into space for awhile the tear finally came and I said ok, now you can answer the question...kids were laughing at how fake the whole thing looked.
Next hearing is February 5th. That's right February 5th. I don't know how Judge Smith could have read one or two of these motions and not wonder what in the hell is going on. Smith's slow pace in this case is appalling.
I can't wait for the players to sue the hell out of Lab Corp.
So Meehan was afraid he'd be sued for disclosing that 43 players were excluded by the DNA?
Sure.
Did you have fun??
It wasn't Lab Corp. It was DNA Security that did the second tests.
Great job, LB. The Drive-By Media is dead. We have our own reporters now...

Think about it. Why did they take a pregnancy test in the first place? OR did she ask them to do it?? Those swimmers are slooooooow. She wouldn't have been pregnant immediately after the rape.
Well, it's fine with Nifong; then he doesn't have to put a pregnant FA on the stand.
I busted out laughing when Jakki started the cry thing. Drama Queen is very befitting isn' it? LOL
Well I hope they sue them too. ;)
As I understood it, he was worried about the privacy concerns of the other males whose DNA was found who were NOT members of the lax team.
It might have been his idea but Nifong went along with it. Call in the FEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was worried that the 43 players how had a cloud hanging over their heads about the DNA testing -- especially since the "she named one other player" rumor was out there -- wouldn't want the world to know they weren't included in the results?
I call BS on that.
Besides, he testified that he gave Nifong exactly what Nifong asked for.
Maybe Nifong would like to put the pregnant hooker on the stand. After all it would be hard for her to hid under tables with that big belly.
Do you believe Nifong only got the 3 names then?
I am still reading to catch up on this thread, but this quote by Meehan is proof again that Nifong only wanted to know about evidence that would incriminate the LAX players, and not any that would show that CGM was lying all along (IOW not doing his job in searching for justice, but rather looking for a case to help him politically). I think Nifong thinks that if he didn't see any evidence that would point to someone other than a Duke LAX player, then he can deny knowing that it was there, thus maintaining plausible deniability. However, I think it may be possible to catch Nifong up in this with Meehan's testimony.
As I understand it, none of the identities of the contributors of the DNA which was actually found are known. How do you protect the privacy of an unknown person?
Well regardless of the Meehan spin, the met, they agree to suppress evidence and thus the conspired and in fact obstructed justice. The NC AG or the USDJ should have Nifong arrested this afternoon.
Meehan was asked that and had no real answer.
